You were my first Sarge, my trainer, the king of organizing and compassionate policing. When people ask me why I’m so organized I say I took it on after I lost a friend many years ago. I have no clue how I found this site today myself as many of us are stating. You are missed, you are remembered and you mattered. Thank you my friend. Moody recalling your laugh, thank you, I could hear it again and had forgotten. Love to his family and friends when you come by.
